I have spoken out about
What Adoptees rights are,
What Adoptees needs are.
I have people change the subject on me.
I have people listen and then babble about another issue.
I have even had people tell me that they know about a Adoptee.
I have had people gloss over hearing about the Rights of Adoptees.
I have had to explain myself.
First off.
Why can't I say honestly What
Adoptees struggle with , Adoptees need Rights
Securing their records.
Not been told about their adoption story.
Knowing their medical records
Truth about adoption story altered, Loss of birth parents and people tell you to get over it.
Both sides of the Story
Access to medical records, feel and grieve their first family.
We have the right to ask questions.
Without fear that someone will threaten us legally.
People to listen and not judge us or change the subject.
To know our birth name first name and middle and last name.
Grieve our first family.
Contact family members without being blocked by another person like her adopted parents or anyone else.
Laws geared towards Adoptees but for every one.
We need to be able to feel our experience without somebody telling us how to feel.
And when I hear yeah but what about? When I get the silent treatment where people have changed the subject.
I post about what adoptees need. What our rights are.
What we need. I have to say well it was nice knowing you. I have to put these boundaries up to care for myself. I have hurt long enough and listened to people long enough tell me what to do how to think and what to say.
Please listen with your heart whether you understand or not. I've said it plain and clear here.
Until next time
